Don’t appreciate dialogue? There have been multiple liberals to post on the board for years and even one prominent one who switched sides this year.

Now, if you’re talking about Reddit or any MSM source, maybe you’d have a point. They just outright ban dissenting opinions.



Couple years ago one of my buddies was making some valid points in a thread and he sent me screens of it. a short time later he went back and all of his comments and the comments he was responding to had been removed by the mods. he said there were multiple instances of censorship. they would leave up the silly liberal arguments that get shredded but delete anything that could actually poke a hole in the narrative.

Proof and context? I can likely respond to whatever you thought was poking a hole in some mysterious narrative intelligently.

And if it were a couple years ago, it was likely about Russian collusion..

A whole lot of this. It has gotten to be much more of an echo chamber over the past few years and some of the posters do actually seem to think trump is a god-emperor, but there is still a lot of good discussion.

I’ve read enough to conclude they really don’t appreciate/tolerate any sort of dialog that may be even remotely skewed from their perceptions of the world.



Used to post regularly there, and there were a handful of posters that enjoyed good debate. They were eventually drowned out in most threads with the pile-ons of "TDS!!", "CUCK", "FAKE NEWS", etc., comments though and it grows pretty tiresome.

IIRC, it was about tariffs.

I got warned about three posts talking badly about trump and was told "the board need a break from my TDS" when there where literally multiple threads on the first page that were created for the sole purpose bashing democrats. So I can absolutely confirm this.

It's a complete echo chamber full of confirmation bias in the extreme
